Children who have had arthritis affecting their neck should be screened for instability in that area before participation in any contact sports. Children should be reminded to wear protective eye equipment as per the general population. For children who have had uveitis, there might be an increased risk of eye injury in some sports. Children with a history of arthritis in the jaw (TMJ) are advised to wear properly fitted mouth guards for certain sports (e.g. contact) when these precautions are already recommended for the general population.
